1 First Law Analysis for Reacting System
Consider a constant pressure process in which nf moles of fuel react with na moles of air to produce np moles of product: Reactants Products W Q Products Reactants State 1 State 2 Reaction Applying First Law with state 1 being the reactants at P1, T1 and state 2 being products at P2, T2:

HP < HR Q < 0 exothermic reaction HP > HR Q > 0 endothermic reaction

3 Enthalpy of Reaction Consider the case where the final temperature of the products is the same as the initial temperature of the reactants (e.g., calorimeter is used to measure Q). W P1=P2=Po T1=T2=To Q To Reaction The heat released under this situation is referred to as the enthalpy of reaction, DHR ,

4 Heat of Combustion The maximum amount of energy is released from a fuel when reacted with a stoichiometric amount of air and all the hydrogen and carbon contained in the fuel is converted to CO2 and H2O This maximum energy is referred to as the heat of combustion or the heating value and it is typically given per mass of fuel DHR(298K)

5 Heat of Combustion There are two possible values for the heat of combustion that can be calculated depending on whether the water in the products is taken to be in a liquid or vapour state. Tp T S hg hf From steam tables: hfg = hg – hf > 0 DHR = HP – HR < 0 (exothermic) The term higher heat of combustion is used when the water in the products is taken to be in the liquid state The term lower heat of combustion is used when the water in the products is taken to be in the vapour state

6 Heat of Formation Consider the following reactions taking place at atmospheric pressure and with TP = TR = 298K In these reactions H2O and CO2 are formed from their elements in their natural state at standard temperature and pressure (STP) 1 atm and 298K. Reactions of this type are called formation reactions and the corresponding measured heat release Q is referred to as the standard heat of formation and takes the symbol so: Values for standard heat of formation for different species are tabulated

7 Enthalpy Scale for a Reacting System
We need to take into account that for a reacting system the working fluid changes molecularly from reactants to products while undergoing a process. Consider the following identity: By international convention, the enthalpy of every element in its natural state (e.g., O2(g), N2(g), H2(g), C(s)) at STP has been set to zero (note the notation convention) at STP

8 Enthalpy Scale for a Reacting System
The enthalpy of all other substances at STP is simply the heat of formation of the substance, since it is formed from its elements, for example: Therefore, the enthalpy of the i’th component in a mixture is: chemical enthalpy sensible enthalpy The sensible enthalpy for different species is tabulated as a function of temperature (JANNAF Tables).
